Description
Although Fats Waller presented himself as a comic figure in his many compositions, he was a musician of high caliber, who brought great skill and virtuosity to both his composing and playing. He was also the first jazz organist of importance. He played stride piano with a sophisticated style that influenced pianists as different as Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell and Count Basie, who even took lessons from him. His colorful up-tempo playing and humorous vocals made him popular with audiences oblivious to the magnitude of his musical skills. On this second volume on Naxos Jazz Legends, Fats Waller s inimitable and infectiously enjoyable piano style and vocals may be enjoyed to the full.
